Oh well, there goes the removal of my monthly donation.

It's an English sport, or at least it was. It's not anymore.

It's becoming more artificial, and having DHL fastest pistop bullshit, Pirelli fastest lap etc. Everything is just an opportunity to increase cashflow. I know it has always been a business first, but I saw this stuff 20+ years ago on indycar/NASCAR and made me gag then. I'm just old school now, and prefer lower tech cars and a straightforward show without artificial drama.

The green washing has also put me off the sport after 26 years. That and the Americanisation/enshitification of the show.

Pretty cool. I used Dash/Zeal for this previously.

I'm about 1.5 years into it. Lost most passion for the job, but there are flashes of motivation here and there. Considering trying to move into full time development, but that would take a lot of effort. Tired of keeping up with the kubernetes ecosystem too.

Knowing this is a volunteer project, I'd never request renumeration. If I were contracting with a large company, I guess I'd charge 300-500 per day. That's just based on quotes I get on LinkedIn, as I've never worked as a contractor. Also I couldn't have it interfere with my main job, where I'm also on call, so it would be lower priority.

I have the experience, but not the energy nor passion as I am almost burned out already. I hope you find some awesome people.

You're really overthinking this buddy and making a lot of assumptions. And not to mention wasting your own damn time.

Notice how it was a question? See this '?'

My last part was a question, not an accusation.
